Ignoring the dumb FTC idea, the 64GB Surface Pro does seem like an oddly pointless device. I can't imagine people shelling out for this relatively expensive PC would find it a good deal to save 10% off the price to have a cripplingly limited storage budget, or to use up the SDXC slot on a drive almost as expensive as the price differential. For MS, I can't imagine it'll be worth the bad PR to be able to advertise a $899 starting price instead of $999.
